THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, WE LOVED OUR DAY WITH YOU AND LEARNT SO MUCHKediri, Indonesia, January 2014 (from Trip Advisor)Back to top

Bali tour of Kintamani

“We are two females travelling together and felt that we should immediately write and thank Erna of BALI TOUR MAGIC for the wonderful day tour to KINTAMANI we enjoyed with their company. Their driver spoke very fluent English and he was all the time pointing out places of interest along the way.
We really wanted to see the Barong Dance, and we thought that would have been the highlight of our trip. But the entire day was a highlight and we have absolutely no hesitation in recommending anybody to book their Bali tours with BALI TOUR MAGIC, the magic sure happens with them.
THANKYOU sincerely for making our tour an unforgettable experience.”Carol and JulieAnne, Canada, 10 January, 2014

“In this great tour of Kintamani, we could experience the real Bali. Very nice and well informed tour leader.”Raymondi Abbadoi, Sydney Australia, 11 November 2013

“My family and I recently did the Kintamini tour with Erna. She was an excellent tour guide and very compassionate to us. She is very easy to understand and answered all our questions. I would highly recommend Erna and Bali Tour Magic to many of my family and friends. And hopefully I will be joining her again on another tour soon.”Rebecca Genev, Collie WA Australia, 7 November 2013

“Greg & I would like to say thanks to Erna & Mus for a really enjoyable day tour to Lovina. They could not have been more helpful and stopped to show us different sites along the way. We found Mus to be a very good & safe driver (a must for Bali) and both Erna & Mus were very informative at the places we visited. We will be recommending this company to our friends.Thanks again for a great day out.”Sarah Marshall, Australia, January 2014

“I holidayed in Bali for my 40th birthday, we decided to visit the Royal Temple Taman Ayun with a Bedugul tour. I must say that Erna was the best tour guide, she speaks very good english and would highly recommend her. I also had her drive me around on my birthday and her service was 5 star. Thank you Erna.”Fee WA

“This was my second tour with Bali Tour Magic and every bit as wonderful as the first. Mus is a great driver and his knowledge made the day very interesting as well as beautiful. Both Erna and Mus have made me feel like a family guest.”Martine Boisson, Bordeaux France, 10 Nov 2013

“Bathing in the hot springs of Banjar in the middle of the forest was a great experience and experiencing the tranquility and unique atmosphere of the meditation temple will definitely be long remembered.” Jan Leder, July 2014

“Our guide/driver was warm and concerned for our comfort and safety. Loved that a face to face meeting was arranged to plan tours rather than just relying on internet info. Highlights of our northern Bali tour: white sand beach, GitGit waterfalls, Jatiluwih rice terraces and Bedugul market – made better by great cultural explanations from guide. We wish other Australians could experience Bali as we have with Bali Tour Magic – Thank you Mus & Erna.” Barbara Wellesley, Sydney, Australia, May 2014.

“What a wonderful experience we had with Bali Tour Magic. The insight to Bali was so interesting & exciting. Our thanks so much to Erna & Mus for a fantastic tour. I really loved our visit to Nusa Dua. All the very best for the future of your business & I can’t wait till our next visit to Bali.”Lorelle, Melbourne, Australia, January, 2014

“I really enjoyed this tour! What a beautiful day, first water sport at Tanjung Benoa , then a pleasant drive up to GWK and Uluwatu for a typical kecak dance. The seafood dinner we had at sunset was the climax at Jimbaran. Thanks to Erna, who, with her smile and kindness made me wish to come back again next year. I really recommend Bali Tour Magic.”Martine Boisson, Bordeaux France, 10 Nov 2013

“I have only the best words to describe my tour I did with Erna in May 2012. We started with a Barong dance than headed north towards Ubud and amazing coffee & spice farms. We stopped at Celuk as I have a strong interest in jewellery then continued to the most amazing temple Tirta Empul where Erna really helped explain tradition and history of Bali people. Without such a knowledgeable guide, I am sure my experience of Bali would have been so much poorer. I can not recommended her enough! Thank you for Bali Tour Magic and I am sure we’ll meet again.”Mia, London, May 2012

“We used Bali Tour Magic for our holiday in Bali I would highly recommend their services to any family and friends and know that they are well looked after absolutly love Erna And Mus (owners)they are compassionate kind careing and willing to help with our holiday tours.Erna speaks good english and is willing to help out in anyway.We travelled from Legian to Ubud to visit Elephant Safari Park such a beautiful place,such a wonderful experience such good transport that makes us always feel safe.I cant wait for my next holiday back to Bali so Bali Tour Magic can take me on another wonderful holiday experience.”Beck, Perth, Australia, June 2013 (from Trip Advisor)

Bali Tour and Transport Info

Bali Tours

Bali Tour Magic can arrange just about any Bali tour you can think of. Our featured Bali tours include an extensive range of half and full day trips, covering everything from the scenic Bali tour classics to extreme adventure Bali tours.

We can also put together any multi day Bali tour you’d like, co-ordinating transport, accommodation and activities to suit your interests and budget.

So if you’d like to explore a little further afield, or if you’re interested in a Bali tour you don’t see on our tour pages, or just want to customise a featured Bali tour, please contact usand we’ll help you create the perfect Bali tour for you.

If you’re in need of inspiration, why not first check out our things to do in Bali page, which is conveniently segmented into geographical regions, and chock full of ideas for a Bali tour that will surely appeal to your interests.

We also understand that one size doesn’t fit all. Some people like to take in as many stops as possible in a day, others prefer to linger. And its nice to have the option to change your mind as you go.

Nothing is worse than finding yourself in a magical location you’d like to explore for hours, only to be rushed back to the car 15 minutes later, for no reason other than to adhere to a tight and rigid schedule you couldn’t have known in advance wouldn’t suit you.

So rather than impose fixed itineraries, each Bali tour featured on our Bali tour pages includes highlights we know fit well with that tour’s route, but feel free to make any change to suit your own interests and preferred pace.

We don’t charge for friendly advice, so just contact us if you’d like some help working out what’s ‘do-able’, taking account of your time frame, budget and preferred pace.

Or let us know what interests you and the type of activities you enjoy, and we’ll make some suggestions for a Bali tour to suit, based on our comprehensive experience and local knowledge.

Our easy pricing structure means you’ll only pay for the attractions and activities you choose and, in most cases, you’ll be able to change any part of your Bali tour at any time (the only exception being where limited availability requires a non-refundable, pre-paid deposit).

We offer airport transfers to and from hotels within a 5km radius of central Kuta for a flat per vehicle rate of IDR150,000. Please contact us for a quote for transfers outside this geographical distance. We can also arrange transfers between hotels from and to any destination in Bali.

As a rough guide to pricing, a trip from the Kuta area to the very north of Bali takes around 5hrs so, allowing for the fact that your driver has to also make the return trip, such a transfer would attract the full day rate of IDR600,000.

Many people find using a Bali tour driver for their everyday transport needs a convenient and cost effective option, particularly when travelling in large groups. No need to worry about multiple taxis, dealing with attempted fare scams, language barriers, or waiting.

Your Bali tour driver will be where you want him to be, when you want him, and with plenty of room for everyone (including shopping) – in a spacious 6 seater air conditioned vehicle.

Please bear in mind that whilst our vehicles accommodate up to 6 passengers comfortably, available space lessons with luggage. Accordingly, if each person has one suitcase and standard carry on luggage, a maximum of 4 passengers per vehicle applies to transfers including luggage.

We can supply automatic scooter and helmet hire at the low rate of IDR50,000/per day. If you want to hire a scooter for 2-4 weeks, this rate is discounted to IDR45,000/day. And if you hire a scooter for more than a month, the rate is further reduced to IDR35,000/day.

Unfortunately, we find it not financially viable to insure scooters in Bali. Therefore, please understand that any agreement you enter with Bali Tour Magic for scooter hire is conditional upon your acceptance of personal responsibility for any loss or damage, howsoever caused.

We do take a small security deposit of IDR500,000, refunded on return of the scooter, less the cost of repairing any minor damage.

However, in the event of significant loss or damage, you will still be responsible for the full cost of replacement or repair, whichever is cheaper.

Please contact us is you would like any further information or want to arrange scooter hire.

Bali Tour and Transport Pricing

Every Bali tour we offer is priced per vehicle (up to 6 passengers) at a flat rate of IDR400,000 for half day tours of approximately 5 hours and IDR600,000 for full day tours of around 10 hours.

Our time frames aren’t hard and fast – we don’t charge extra just because your Bali tour runs a little over time. A few ‘full day’ Bali tours, however, effectively amount to a day and a half. For example, if you wanted to hike Mount Agung to reach the summit at sunrise, you would need to depart Kuta mid evening and wouldn’t return until around lunch time the following day. On the rare occasion a Bali tour needs to run more than 15 hours for such reasons, we may charge you for a day and a half.

Our rate includes hotel pick up and drop off*, an air-conditioned, modern and spacious, private vehicle, and on-call English speaking driver, as well as arranging and booking any associated accommodation, activities and attractions, and co-ordinating the timing of all your Bali tour components.

At Bali Tour Magic, we pride ourselves on our ability to do this expertly, delivering seamless arrangements that ensure you spend every moment of your time doing what you should be doing – having fun!

What sets us apart from our competitors is that we think of everything, based on many years of experience, and with only your comfort and enjoyment in mind.

Generally, you pay attraction entrance fees, activity costs, etc. directly to the provider on the day. This means that you only pay for what you decide to see and do on the day, and that you can see you are only paying what providers charge.

Essentially, this transparency demonstrates to you that we don’t inflate attraction prices and bury them in a per person ‘packaged’ rate, a common practice amongst Bali tour operators which often results in sub-standard service delivery. We gain nothing by including a cheap, poor quality meal, for instance. A Bali tour operator packaging a meal in the overall price does. So you can be assured we recommend only the best attractions and dining options, based on your budget.

When you make an enquiry with us about any Bali tour, if you provide us with approximate dates and numbers of adults and children, we are happy to give you an estimate of any associated significant attraction, accommodation or activity cost.

Other costs you should allow for are the small entrance fees which all national parks and facilities charge, any shopping you might want to do, and meals. We don’t ‘package’ meals in your Bali tour, for reasons stated, and we find most people prefer freedom to choose according to their own taste and budget.

We will recommend what we believe to be the best available options, but the choice remains with you. Some providers, however, include a meal with their attraction/activity fee (e.g. white water rafting). In such cases, we will tell you if an attraction or activity fee includes a meal.

If you book a Bali tour with us, we will give you a detailed quote for all costs including our flat rate per vehicle fee, and the cost of any chosen activities, attractions or accommodation. If a deposit is required by a third party provider to secure a booking, we will advise you of the amount required as well as the required method and time of payment.

*Includes hotels within a 5km radius of central Kuta and hotels along the tour route. For hotel pick up and drop off outside these geographical areas, a small additional fee will apply.

Bali Tour and Transport Booking Info

As our pricing structure is based on a low flat per vehicle charge, we do not require a deposit to secure a booking. For this reason, we do not take confirmed bookings more than two months in advance for any Bali tour.

You are welcome to plan and make a tentative booking for a Bali tour with us at any time, but you will need to confirm your booking within a month prior to its scheduled date to secure the booking.

To confirm a booking for a Bali tour or transfer, please contact us with the name of the tour or transport service you require, and the date or dates for the required service.

You will also need to provide the name the hotel in Bali you will be staying at, the hotel’s telephone contact number and your room number (or name on hotel reservation), as well as your email address and the number of people in your group.

We will then email you a booking confirmation sheet which will set out your pick up location and time, a summary of your itinerary, costs payable to Bali Tour Magic and any third party providers, and helpful suggestions for what you might find handy to bring. Costs will be quoted and are payable in Indonesian Rupiah.

If you do need to cancel for any reason, we ask only that you let us know as soon as possible, and at least 24 hours before the scheduled tour.

Due to high demand and limited numbers, at certain times, a particular Bali tour may occasionally require a deposit to secure a booking.

A deposit may also be necessary for multi day Bali tours, e.g., where you ask us to arrange accommodation, etc. on your behalf. In such instances, we will advise you by email the required deposit and method of payment.

Change your mind? No problem. Up to and including on the day, any Bali tour booked with Bali Tour Magic can be changed to suit your wishes at no cost to you.

However, any deposit or other fees you have paid or asked us to pay on your behalf to third party providers will be subject to the refund policies of such providers.

The very different verb structure of Indonesian means that our English can sound limited to a native English speaker.

But your Bali tour driver will always be fluent enough to communicate with you easily, ensuring your access to our comprehensive local knowledge.

When we use employee drivers, you can be assured they have been trained to understand your wishes are paramount.

You will never be subjected to music or conversation you don’t wish to listen to, and you will certainly never be pressured to adhere to or depart from any Bali tour schedule.

Your Bali tour driver’s wealth of local knowledge about great photo stops, eateries, bargains and the like is at your disposal, but you will never feel pressured to follow any particular recommendation.

The day is yours and your Bali tour driver’s sole goal is to ensure it is a magical experience.

As owner/operators we have a longer range vision than many local Bali tour operators, many of whom think nothing of dumping a booking if a better fare comes along, or diverting tourists to second rate attractions and over priced shops.

They do this because they think offering the lowest price is all that matters. An unhappy customer is still a ‘paid fare’ for the day.

And to attract your business with unrealistically low prices, the only means they have left of making any profit at all is the commissions which sub-standard restaurants and various attractions pay Bali tour operators to secure market share.

Local Bali tour operators don’t see any wrong in such practices. They are simply operating under a price driven, short view business model that sacrifices quality for survival, and an inability to understand that ‘value for money’ is more important than the ‘cheapest price’.

And so these are some of the risks you take if you haggle too hard and choose a Bali tour based on price alone.

Also keep in mind that street front Bali tour booths rarely garage their vehicles onsite. At most you will be shown a photograph of ‘your’ vehicle and we would caution against regarding this as any kind of guarantee.

At Bali Tour Magic we want you to feel like a valued guest, and leave us as a friend. If we do our job right, hopefully, your experience will be so magical that you’ll want to recommend us to family and friends who may be looking for a Bali tour or driver in the future.

We highly value your feedback and seek this by making available a Guest Satisfaction survey on every Bali tour we provide. We also encourage you to review our Bali tour and transport services online, and we constantly monitor and respond to such reviews.

Without access to the passing foot traffic of a store front, our business growth and success is 100% dependent upon your good opinion.

What differentiates us from much of our local competition in the Bali tour industry, is our keen understanding of this simple fact, and its adoption as the fundamental plank of our business philosophy.

Perhaps more importantly than for any other reason, you should choose Bali Tour Magic for your Bali tour because we genuinely enjoy welcoming visitors and sharing with them the beauty and many delights of our homeland. Our work is our pleasure – because making people happy makes us happy.

If you would care to look at some of our testimonials, you will see that many of our guests embrace the genuine friendship we offer, and feel more like family guests than customers.
